"Hi Diana,
I am not familiar with these varieties from C-Stars Nursery, new ones...They sometimes just give new names to plants..may be another well known variety. I bought Rainbow star, a new one, a beauty, found it listed with the plumeria society, but will not open beautiful rainbow, buds just fall off..they do not seem to have a website to see their plants, sold at different nurseries. They also list Princess..is Princess victoria..

Nothing yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

yeah well, that would be me referenced in the post...I stopped posting for quite a long time on GW due to the snooty response I got from that question. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I've been lurking here while I wait the unbearably long wait for warm weather to get my plumies to bloom!

from my notes, and off their tag...
• Rainbow star from C-Stars, 3 orange dots in triangle. Unusual tricolor flower with distinct star pattern in center of flower. Rainbow of pink, red and white, round petals and gold center. Produces lovely 3-3.5” rainbow flowers of red, white, and gold, with a captivating orange-red star in the very center.

Mine is still small and has yet to bloom, so no picture to reference.

Yeah that was unnecessary for that guy to be a smartass like that

I do not think he meant it to come of that way. Jack is a great plumeria grower and super family man. He just knows a lot about the business of plumeria, and for the professional growers, more like botanists, the name of a plant means a lot more than it does to us commoners. Paperwork, registration, documentation, all kinds of time and effort go into Naming a cultivar. I can imagine that if I had the passion and put in the effort those people do, then I might want others to understand.

I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt - we all have bad days. However, several people contacted me privately and said they had dropped out of the forum due to similar posts from him. It's so easy to misconstrue a writer's attitude... but after all this time the text still strikes me as belittling instead of informative.

Pity, since I'm sure he has a wealth of knowledge that can contribute to the world of hobbyists like me.

Now if this weather would just change to summer, then my plants would bloom! still getting into the low 60s and high 50s at night. What's next, a frost warning in July? =^,,^=

Same here in the Los Angeles....
It seems the rest of America is boiling while the weather here feels like late winter/early spring.
It was in the 100s for three days early July- then it went down to mid-to-low 70s

i just bought one actually from my local nursery, here are a couple pictures, lovely almost rose smell. though i noticed flowers arent really opening up in full (i had to help these along for them to not look like a shell). kinda staying like a "shell" variety and then falling off. not sure if plant is stressed or what, i noticed when i bought it it was in need of water started to get wrinkled. anyone else who has rainbow star having blooms open or are they too staying in a "shell" type form before falling off
